cc-tool: add patch fixing boost.m4 logic for static linking

This commit adds a patch to cc-tool that fixes the boost.m4 logic used
to detect the linker rpath option so that it works properly with
static linking and additional libraries passed in LIBS.

This is the second step to fix static linking of cc-tool on
architectures like SPARC that need to link against libatomic:

+Subject: [PATCH] m4/boost.m4: fix rpath option check for static linking
+
+When statically linking, the order in which -l options are passed is
+important. The contents of the LIBS option passed to the configure
+environment should be passed *after* other -l options used internally
+by the package.
+
+For example, libboost_program_options may used symbols from the
+libatomic library, and in this case, one need to pass LIBS="-latomic"
+to cc-tool's configure script. When using dynamic linking, this works
+fine, because the rpath test does "-latomic
+-lboost_program_options". However, when statically linking, this
+doesn't work because libboost_program_options uses symbols from
+libatomic, so -latomic must be passed *after* -lboost_program_options.
+
+Therefore, this commit inverts the list of variables used to construct
+LIBS before doing the _BOOST_AC_LINK_IFELSE() test detecting the rpath
+option to be used. Indeed, $boost_save_LIBS contains the previously
+saved LIBS variable, and should be passed after $Boost_lib_LIBS.
